Book Summary
This book presents a radical reconceptualization of the nature of linguistic
knowledge. John Taylor challenges the conventional notion that a language can be
understood in terms of the interaction of syntax with a lexicon, the second
listing the words and the first the rules for combining them. He proposes
instead that an individual's knowledge of a language can be thought of as a
repository of memories of linguistic experience. Each encounter with the
language, he argues, leaves a trace in our minds. We record the forms of
utterances, the concepts and interpretations associated with them, and the
contexts in which they were heard or seen. Features of
